Phoenix Comicon started guest announcements today! First announcement
is Babylon 5 20th Anniversay with Bruce Boxleitner, Bill Mumy, Claudia
Christian, Jerry Doyle, Julie Caitlin Brown, Mira Furlan, Walter
Koenig, Pat Tallman, Stephen Furst and JMS!
Woohoo! YJay and I will be there as we have been for the past 3
years. This con is always lots of fun with great media, comic and
writer guests. Fantastic panels and a dealer's room stuffed full!
Lots of great cosplay too.
I am not affiliated with Phoenix Comicon except as a very happy attendee!

See you there!!
Oh, yes it is hot in Phoenix in the summer but the hotels and
convention center are very well air conditioned and most restuarants
have misters outside which work wonderfully to keep things tolerable.

You beat me, Cheryl! Expect a duplicate sometime soon-ish.
I'm definitely going to this! I missed all of the big cons while the show was on so there's no way I'm gonna miss this one.
Who else? It'll be great to see Jay and Cheryl again and we have to figure that this sort of thing isn't likely to happen again.

Sorry to hear that, Nicole. Already this is shaping up to be a great opportunity to meet more of the fans I've known online for years but never in person.

Sorry to hear this, but you're right about your choice. Worldcon is
always the best for people who like read books. Also, it won't be as
crowded and they're very sensative to the needs of the disabled.
Worldcon was accepting of and making arrangements for the disabled for
decades before it was cool to do so.

this sounds interesting, and it only a short drive from here...
Will have to see how the finances and time are going!
Cheryl, compared to SDCC, is this event more accessible and enjoyable?
I won't go to SDCC any more, it is just too much of a zoo to be fun
anymore.

I've never been to SDCC. I hate large crowds. That being said, PCC
has been growing each year I've attended and reached a bit over 30K
last year. But they do a good job with line management and such. It
took no time at all to get our badges and into the main convention
space. The convention center and hotels are fully ADA compliant.
I have arthritis in my knees and hips and move real slow sometimes but
I managed the con pretty well. It will be hot outside but the A/C in
the hotels and convention center. Use sunscreen, a hat or
parasol/umbrella and carry a bottle of water around.

Lucky you! For me it's over $500 in airfare from Newark NJ to Phoenix.
It's probably one of the last times to see a group like this together.
I may just do it.

My husband was just laid off (it's December if you work in high tech, you
have a 47% chance of being laid off!), but if he gets a good (or any) job
soon enough, I might come out for this. Although it'll definitely make me
sad. So many B5 people, but so many huge absences still very keenly felt.

Yes, I am still around and very much involved with Phoenix Comicon. I am the Books & Authors Manager and am also involved with the Babylon 5 stuff. As Jan indicated, I really don't see any other convention doing anything like this for Babylon 5. Things like the Firefly reunion at last year's SDCC was pretty much arranged by the Science Channel and we all know how Warners feels about B5.
We're planning to do some fan panels as well (although scheduling them so they aren't opposite a B5 related guest may be tricky). If you have any ideas for fan panels, send them to my email noted at the end of the post.
For those planning flights, make sure you are there Sunday afternoon, which will be the big Babylon 5 panel. Solo and group panels with the actors and Joe will be scattered throughout Friday and Saturday.
And there will be some additional Babylon 5 related guests announced soon, likely as the last ones in the current round of announcements.
Any questions, send them to my Phoenix Comicon email, lee dot whiteside at phoenixcomicon.com

Woo hoo! I hope we all get a chance to meet and hang out.
